RISStatistical Specification of the 500-mb Height Fields Using Smoothed Medium-Resolution Radiometric Fields of Nimbus II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over an area spanning the North American Continent from tropical to polar latitudes, and between 40W and 135W, four consecutive days of the NIMBUS II Medium Resolution Infrared (MRIR) five-channel equivalent blackbody ...
Statistical Estimates of Computed Water-Vapor Radiative Flux from Clear Skies at an Oceanic Location
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based upon four years of complete data spanning 1957 through 1960 at Ship P, ?clear-sky? multiple regression equations were obtained relating computed long-wave flux from water vapor over Ship P to shipboard measurements ...
Statistical Characteristics of Subtropical jet-Stream Features in Terms of MRIR Observations from Nimbus II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sample of 60 individual cases of southwesterly jet-stream maxima located over the continental United States during the Nimbus II period is studied in relation to the MRIR characteristics surrounding the jet. The analysis ...
A NEW STATISTICAL METHOD OF ESTIMATING SURFACE RADIANCES FROM CORRESPONDING SATELLITE WINDOW-CHANNEL RADIANCES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stepwise linear regressions for the specification of blackbody surface radiances are computed using a set of 103 model atmospheres chosen originally by Wark et al. and the corresponding simulated values of Nimbus 2 ...
